Playing Saturday at home and Palace away on Tuesday is nothing special, we do that plenty of times through a season

Exactly, Who decided PROFESSIONAL footballers get too TIRED to play 2 games in a week?

why on earth would they televise your game!!

Your a Junkie and I claim my £10

Its you're

And YOU'RE f***ing clueless. Brighton v Newcastle = upset potential = likely TV. I'm not saying we'd be top of the bill, but piss up a stick ESPN showed the borefest Brum v Wolves tie yesterday, and ITV had Peterboro v Sunderland today. Going by that, I could easily see our game on TV (IF we get through).

I will be well pissed off if Gus doesn't field a full strength team against Wrexham. I enjoyed yesterday and if we'd drawn someone like Middlesborough home or away I'd be happy to let the kids finish the job but we need to take this seriously now. I think it needs a poll?

Last time I saw us play Newcastle I hitched to St James's to see us win and gain promotion to the old 1st. Top fans. I recall them giving raptious applause when The Albion did a victory circuit.

IF we beat Wrexham, then it should be a fantastic occasion, Newcastle will definitely bring their full 3,300 allocation, it should be a full house, and a chance for the squad to show their ability against top opposition.

Don't they usually like to decide on the TV games before the replays have been played?

Poyet loved playing against us, no doubt that will add some interest to the game! I think the game could be televised, new stadium, big crowd, potential upset (especially with NUFC involved!) and I also can't see many other games other than the obvious 2 that will be televised. Ii do hope I'm wrong though as 3pm Saturday is the way forward.

Lets have some FUN on the way, eh ?

Erm can we worry about beating Wrexham before who we could have next. I would imagine that home draw will mean equally as much to Wrexham as it does us?

They do, but Wrexham v Newcastle is even more of a TV game than if we win, so can see them going for it.

Surely the most important question if we win the replay is, what colour light bulb will be placed in the away end?

We got 3 bookings and Sunderland with 29 fouls got just one, and some of the Black Cats fouls were awful in extra time.

12 Mackail-Smith
Substitutes

Newcastle fielded a depleted team (the reserves) to beat Forest 3-4 away in the League Cup.

BBC Sport - Nott'm Forest 3-4 Newcastle (aet)

But appeared to play most of the full team to beat Blackburn (who KOed them of the League Cup)

BBC Sport - Newcastle 2-1 Blackburn

So what team each side plays is somewhat of a mystery. That's assuming we can beat Wrexham!
